Visitor Information

Balliol College welcomes visitors who wish to tour our buildings and gardens. We are open as often as we can be, but from time to time there are College events that require the College to be closed. As part of admission, you will be able to visit the Chapel, Gardens and often the Hall.

Please be aware that Balliol College is a place of study all year round; therefore, you are asked to keep to the route indicated on the map, and large groups are encouraged to telephone the Lodge in advance: 01865 277777.

If you are a prospective applicant or a school wishing to visit Balliol for an information event, please see Schools and Outreach.

If you are interested in hosting a conference or other event at Balliol, please see Host an Event.

Disabled access

Wheelchair access is via the metal gates off Magdalen Street East; please make the Lodge aware in advance of your arrival so that the Porter can operate the automatic gates. The Chapel and Front Quad can then be accessed via the Fellows’ Garden and the Chapel Passage. For other details of disabled access, please see this map of disabled access at Broad Street.
